Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I am one of the best attorneys in the state, top three. I do not care about an AVVO rating.. Before I begin, DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS THAT MAY INCRIMINATE YOU! IT CAN MAKE YOUR CASE WORSE! IT IS A FLAWED CONCEPT THAT YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS ON THE INTERNET AND THAT IT WON'T BE USED AGAINST YOU. THEY CAN AND WILL TRACE YOUR IP ADDRESS. THESE RATINGS ARE PAID FOR. EXAMINE CLIENT REVIEWS NOT RATINGS.. Scroll down and view cases. Victories are the only thing that matter. If you do not win, they will not respect you and you will not get a negotiation that benefits your client. I include misdemeanor victories because your case matters to me even though the charges are small. A small charge to me is a big charge to you. I will drive a corrupt judge off the bench if necessary even if it is only a misdemeanor. By drive him off the bench, I mean he threw his hands in the air and declared a mistrial and double jeopardy attached, case dismissed. He later lost his election and is no longer a judge. You either win or you don't.. I also do not pay for my awards my industry recognition comes from the judges and colleagues with whom I practice. You can bet they recognize me.. Many criminal defense attorneys claim they are litigators. It sounds great. But litigators are those attorneys that go to trial and have gone to trial. They make their living fighting in the trenches of the legal profession. Litigators know that those clients who are not represented by those few who are familiar with the trenches, are not represented by the most capable, experienced and compelling criminal defense attorneys within the profession. There are very few real litigators. Most cases settle or resolve without litigation.. You do not have to take my word for it. I am a litigator. Evidence of my victories hangs on my wall for everyone to see for themselves. It is the only way a person hiring an attorney can know for sure that he or she is in fact hiring a litigator. I give free consultations so people may see how I present in court, how I articulate my thoughts and they can see for themselves who they are choosing to hire. Would you buy a car if they charged you money to view it? Of course not, you would think that dishonest.. I am the only one that answers my phone. I am available 24 hours a day seven days a week and if you want legal advice i will give it for free. If you like me, then you can hire me. But you won't speak to a secretary.. None of my fees are represented by this site. This site does not give me the option of explaining my fees. Call me I will give you as much information as I can, for free. I am confident you will hire me if you speak with me. Preliminary legal knowledge before you hire a lawer is paramount.

If you are facing criminal prosecution in Las Vegas, whoever you are and whatever the accusations, I can help you.. I have years of hard-earned experience defending criminal cases that range in seriousness from simple misdemeanors to felonies that carry life sentences. I have handled every kind of criminal charge, from drugs to violence to theft and fraud and everything in between. I defend clients from start to finish, from police investigation and arrest to formal charges all the way through trial and sentencing. But I am willing to jump in and take over cases at any point, sometimes on the eve of trial.. I defend a diverse range of clients, from Las Vegas natives to visitors from across the United States and Canada and all across the world. I represent clients with spotless records who are terrified of jail as well as multiple time felons who have done hard time and are hoping for a lucky break. I have represented active duty military who made drunken mistakes and veterans who have trouble adapting to civilian life. I represent people in the wrong place at the wrong time, people who fell in with the wrong crowd, people who made an impulsive decision with serious consequences, people with psychological disorders and physical impairments, and people addicted to drugs or gambling. I represent people who admitted they were caught red-handed and people who are completely innocent. I represent men and women of every race, religion, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, education level, and economic status. I find it easy to connect with almost anyone and any client. And I recognize that different clients have different needs and priorities.. I value creativity and the ability to adapt, so I am always looking for creative solutions and I vary my style and tactics based on the circumstances of each case. I am a skilled negotiator and an experienced trial attorney, so I can quickly work out favorable deals in most cases, but if negotiations fail, I am willing and able to fight tenaciously to win your trial. I am aggressive when I need to be and don’t tolerate unfair treatment of my clients, but I maintain good professional relationships in the criminal defense community and avoid burning bridges. I don’t waste time with ineffective arguments or pick petty fights with opposing counsel, but I have no problem being the bad guy when I need to be. I will not be polite at the expense of being thorough, and I will not treat a false accuser like a victim.. I give honest advice based on a careful evaluation of each case, and I can predict the likely outcome of many cases. No two cases are exactly alike, but your charges aren’t new to me and neither are the facts of your case. Whoever your prosecutor is, I’ve probably worked opposite him on dozens if not hundreds of cases, some just like yours. Whoever your judge is, I’ve most likely appeared in his court more times than I can accurately estimate. So while there are no guarantees, if you give me complete and accurate information about your case, I can tell you what results we can achieve. I won’t try to scare you by overstating the worst case scenario, but I won’t promise you unrealistic results either.. I am proud of my successes as a criminal defense attorney. I routinely negotiate quick and favorable deals to keep my clients’ records clean. I have won not guilty verdicts in some very tough cases. I have gotten more charges dismissed than I can remember. I’ve saved countless men and women from prison. If you are my client, I will use all of my talent, skill, and experience to get your charges dismissed or get you acquitted, or to work out a deal that keeps your record clean without you ever setting foot in a courtroom. Even if the evidence against you is strong and the charges are serious, I will work every angle to get you the best outcome possible and keep you out of jail or prison if I can.. Criminal charges are very stressful for defendants and their loved ones, and one of the greatest sources of stress is the fear of the unknown. So I take time to answer my clients’ questions about their charges and the criminal law process and then I explain my plan to achieve the result we want. I am always happy when I complete an initial consultation and a potential client tells me that I made her feel less worried about the future.. I tell clients that no matter what their charges are, the only way to handle their case is to take things one step at a time. The consultation is always the first step. Call me now to take that first step. The rest is mostly up to me. As I often tell my clients when they are feeling overwhelmed, I have gotten a lot of people out of a lot of trouble. So I can help you too.

As a criminal justice major I participated in a 260 hour internship with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Southwest Area Command. During this internship I spent 260 hours on the streets with patrol officers.. During my law school education at Gonzaga University, I studied in Vienna, Austria with Supreme Court Justice Scalia. My studies in three different universities in Belgium, France, and Austrian law schools allowed me the opportunity to gain an understanding of the international criminal justice system through various founders of the International Criminal Court in the Hague.. After graduation, I started working with John P. Fadgen. John was an outstanding criminal defense lawyer and a gentleman who everyone respected. First and foremost, John was a trial lawyer who had crafted his cross examination skills over the decades. His subtle cross examination style would impeach witness after witness.. I opened my first law office in 2001, in which I also was appointed to the CJA panel where I have tried four of the most lenghty and complex criminal trials in our District. United States v. Acosta (Hells Angels), United States v. Kahre (Four Month Tax Evasion Trial), United States v. Camez ( Computer Hacking) and United States v. Sellers (Complex Rico Prison Gang Trial). United States v. Bundy et al (Armed Stand-Off with federal agents) Mr Rasmussen represented Peter Santilli a journalist covering the events in real time.. These trials set the tone early in my career on how to properly defend persons charged with serious crimes.. I sit on the Indigent Defense Committee as the State Bar of Nevada representative. We evaluate lawyers to ensure indigent defendants are competently and passionately represented before our courts.. As a civil lawyer, I was accepted into the Multi-million Dollar Forum. This is reserved for trial lawyers who have received multiple verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars. I have settled and tried multiple million dollar cases. I have continued a long tradition of representing persons injuried by others negligence and intentional acts.. My firm has served as legal counsel since the birth of the Las Vegas Tribune, a local newspaper. I have defended multiple attempts to restrain the content of the Tribune. My partner and I have defended without a single defeat every attempt to restrain or intimidate the Tribune with frivolous litigation.. We look forward to consulting with prospective clients who expect the highest level of legal representation.
